Any chance you can make it in, Al?

I really do want to. If the doc says I'm allowed to golf, then I'm showing up almost no matter what. If not though, I'm 50/50. Kinda depends on work too, so might not make a final call until the week of.

Just give me your work address and i'll come drag you away at gunpoint. Your co-workers should buy that.

Jesus H - turns out my son's school program for the spring is this night, at 6:30 PM. Early negotiations with the wife on me missing it led to me sleeping on the couch last night after sucking down six Conways like a poison victim looking for the antecdote in the bottles.

On another note I can't make it. I still absolutely curse this this bullshit 4 day format. Can't get the days off my project is in high gear (only a 2-man team) hence I haven't been around the boards much. Could have made it no problem in the old format.

What is a "school program for the spring"?

Some play that he has a speaking part in.

On that note, I want to log my annual gripe about format. I hate that my buds and I no longer have our day of: 8AM golf, 12N draft watch at a bar, 6PM shower/sober up, 8PM dinner with wives, continued drinking.

It was kind of the perfect Spring Saturday.

Swerb, video camera. You are in a tight spot, tread lightly and carry a big stick. You've laid early groundwork, which is crucial. The sooner I get my bullshit into the conversation, the sooner she sees the light.

Couldn't agree more. They have absolutely RUINED the draft for me with this format.

Dude- Ya gotta go watch the kid. Figure out what to do afterward or whatever, but that's non-negotiable.

Take it from a guy who left the baptism party of his 2nd child to go play (and win, mind you) the News Herald World Series of Softball tournament. Don't make that mistake. Goes by way too fast.

You can do both, and you should.

Let's do Day One at the Twinsburg Panini. Good venue. Lot's of hotels there. I'm not into a Tribe game anyway. Boulder Creek isn't far for the golfers.

Any chance they are doing the scene from Gladiator where Commodus takes care of his old man?

The draft is terrible motivation to drive to fucking Cleveland on a Thursday night. Put it on a motherfucking Saturday like it was before, is that so goddamn hard? But no, you got a absolute fucking shit eating anal cyst in charge who couldn't find his dick and balls with a pair of tweezers and a microscope.

Christ.....

I didn't know they stacked whine that high ^^^^^^^

The draft isn't really the point is it?

I mean, I thought you were coming for the innards & bread as well as the comaradarie

Hope is a moment now long pastThe Shadow of Death is the one I castKoo koo ka joob....I am the Walrus

Cause I'm not sure how much heat is going to be generated watching the Browns trade down for a D-Back or some other position that really doesn't have a bearing on winning NFL football games in 2012.

The Genius Bill Walsh used to advocate getting the receivers last, after you've gotten everything else. The imbeciles in this city will probably draft another receiver with the top pick, and wonder why his whiffle ball catching ability is not turning things around.
